The couple attempted to get away, their attorney told ABC, but the alleged attackers kept coming at them.

Then in what appears to be a clear case of self-defense, police said, the 65-year-old man — who has a valid permit to carry a weapon — pulled out his .45-caliber handgun and shot one man in the stomach and the other in the shoulder, ABC reported. Both men are in stable condition, authorities said.

The district attorney will decide if anyone will be charged in this incident.
